Chili Festival Time

Last weekend we went to the Pueblo Chili Festival again to stock up for the winter. Chili's at this festival are chili peppers that are being roasted, putting a wonderful smell in the air...and of course they can make you eyes start to water. The roasting is done by the various farms that grow the chili's. There are a pretty good assortment, we cam home with Peublo's, Atheims and Big Jim's. Each is different and can come in severals hotness ratings. The roasting removes the outer hide and can be done at home on the grill, but just roasted still warm is the way Marlys likes them.

Chilis are vry big in this area as represented by the purchase sizes, e.g. bushel and half-bushel.

24 hours after returning Marlys mentioned that she could still smell them in the truck.
